I am pretty sure that it's not normal to have to wait 3 or 4 days for your post to appear on the forum. How long does it usually take? My New Member introduction post showed up the same day, but my post for help in the 95 Camaro LT1 tech forum (which I made prior to my introductory post) never made it. I previewed it and posted it 4 days ago, but it is not showing up in my posts.

Not sure why the post even got on the list of posts needing approval. Something in the text must have triggered the automatic filter. Unless a moderator (and I seem to be the only active one left on this site) see a small figure of a person in the lower left hand corner of the post, there is no other way to know it needs approval.
